Brooklyn man busted for repeatedly raping pre-teen member of extended family

The pre-teen's therapist notified the NYPD and and the Child Abuse Squad launched an investigation.

An 18-year-old Brooklyn man repeatedly raped a pre-teen member of his extended family, police sources said Monday.

Police arrested David Teitelbaum late Sunday, but the victim’s parents
have stopped cooperating with police, fearful of the shame the incident
will cause the family, according to a source familiar with the case.

“The guy rapes their daughter and they’re protecting him —
unbelievable” said the source. “I can’t even imagine how angry I’d be if
it was my daughter.”

The girl, whose age and relationship to the victim are being withheld
to protect her identity, was attacked several times over the course of a
week during October inside the suspect’s Williamsburg apartment,
sources said.

At some point the girl told her mother the suspect had touched her inappropriately, sources said.

The mother and father sent the child to therapy, sources said. During a
talk with her therapist she revealed that she had been raped.

The therapist notified the NYPD and and the Child Abuse Squad launched an investigation.

Teitelbaum, who has no previous arrest record, was charged with rape,
sex abuse and acting in a manner injurious to a child younger than 17.

Call It What It Is: Child Sexual Abuse

The recent allegations about a 1979 incident involving then 32-year old Alabama Assistant District Attorney Roy Moore illustrate, once again, that we are woefully misinformed and misguided about the reality of childhood sexual abuse and assault.

When
an adult—whether a teacher, clergy member, coach, or in this case a
prosecutor in a courthouse—initiates a sexual conversation or has sexual
contact with a minor child, the incident is child sexual abuse, period.

The most commonly used terms to describe adult sexual contact with a person under the age of 18 include:

Sexual encounter

Relationship

Sexual relations

Sexual relationship

Dating, or “He asked her on a date”

A
minor child does not have the ability to give consent for sexual
contact with an adult. That is why consent laws exist, and why an adult
who has sexual contact with a minor child is guilty of a criminal act.

An
adult, no matter what his/her status, is in an authority role over a
minor child. A child does not freely—without direct or indirect
coercion—enter into a relationship, sexual relationship, sexual
relations, or “date” an adult. In fact, adults have a duty to protect
children from such coercion and exploitation.

Some
Moore apologists have argued that because the age of consent in Alabama
is 16, Moore’s other accusers who were older—but still teenagers—are in
a separate category from the 14-year old victim, Ms. Corfman. At the
time of the alleged abuse, the age of consent in Alabama was three years
younger than the legal drinking age. Today, the legal drinking age in
Alabama is 21, yet the age of consent remains 16.

Regardless
of what you believe is the appropriate age of consent, there is no
rational basis for requiring a person to be 21 years old to consume
alcohol, yet maintaining that they have the maturity to consent to
sexual contact five years sooner.

Survivors
of childhood sexual abuse—especially women who were abused as teenagers
by a respected authority figure such as a teacher or a coach—feel a
toxic stew of emotions including , shame, guilt, and affection as a
result of their abuse. They wonder, “Did I bring this on myself? Was it
really abuse if I felt flattered, special, or ‘in love’?”

“I
felt responsible,” she says. “I felt like I had done something bad. And
it kind of set the course for me doing other things that were bad.”

When
the abuse continues for months or even years, the victim often feels as
though she/he is in love with the perpetrator. The impact of childhood
sexual abuse creates deeply confusing and ambivalent feelings about the
abuse and the perpetrator that may persist for years—or even decades.

If
Ms. Corfman’s allegations about Moore’s conduct are true—and there is
no reason to believe that they are not—she is likely one of many more
victims beyond the three others identified in theWashington Post report.

The
description of Moore approaching Ms. Corfman and her mother in that
Alabama courthouse in 1979 posing as their protector is classic—and
practiced—predatory behavior. The proper term for his alleged behavior
is “grooming,” and its purpose is to lay the groundwork for sexually
abusing the predator’s target in the future.

It’s
time to start calling childhood sexual abuse what it is. To do less is
to make invisible the trauma of our children—allowing child sexual
predators to minimize their behavior and continue to offend and abuse.

Mazel Tov - Rabbi Hershel Schachter!

CLICK ABOVE PHOTO! Rabbi Moshe Feinstein states the very marriage of a gentile woman to a non observant Jew, is equivalent to an open declaration that she will not observe the precepts. This is so, because it is highly unlikely that the gentile member of such a union, will be more committed to Judaism than her remiss Jewish husband (certainly when they are living together prior to their marriage). Unlike mental or tacit negations, explains Rav Feinstein, open declarations do invalidate conversions. When such cases appear before a rabbinical court, its members actually become witnesses to an acceptance declaration that is not sincere. Therefore, it is no longer a tacit insincerity, but rather an obvious one. As such, they are forbidden to sanction the conversion. Regardless of what this Jewish court may declare, the conversion is invalid and the person is not deemed a member of the Jewish nation. In Iggros Moshe, Letters of Moshe (Yoreh De’ah, no. 157), he writes that “According to the Law, it is certain that one who converts for the sake of marriage, does not intend to keep the commandments, and is not a proselyte at all.”

***CLICK ON PHOTO!*** "Batei Din in our times are not effective in dealing with criminal behavior. Lacking the investigative arm of the police and having restrictive standards of testimony they can not establish guilt. When the culprit is charismatic, he can often get protégés who feel indebted to him to lie to the Beis Din. It takes years before those who have been abused as youngsters to openly face their abuser."
